CLEANINGS & PREVENTIONS
Regular dental cleanings are one of the most important elements of preventive dentistry. A dental cleaning removes plaque and tartar, potentially reducing the risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and other oral problems that can occur if plaque is not removed by regular brushing and flossing.
Schedule an appointment with our cosmetic dentist if you have not had a dental exam in a while. Your regular dental visit can help detect any oral health problems early and allow us to provide you with the best treatment possible.
THE IMPORTANCE OF REGULAR EXAMS & CLEANINGS:
Regular dental exams and cleanings are the foundation of a healthy smile. At Garden Valley Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, we understand that prevention is key to maintaining optimal oral health. Our team recommends biannual check-ups to detect and address potential issues before they escalate.
During your dental exam, our skilled professionals will assess the overall health of your teeth, gums, and mouth. We use advanced diagnostic tools to identify any signs of decay, gum disease, or other oral health concerns. Early detection allows for prompt intervention, preventing more extensive and costly treatments down the road.
Professional cleanings are an integral part of maintaining good oral hygiene. Even with regular brushing and flossing at home, plaque and tartar can accumulate over time, leading to cavities and gum disease. Our dental hygienists use state-of-the-art equipment to gently and effectively remove built-up plaque and tartar, leaving your teeth clean, polished, and free from harmful bacteria.
